General description

Chemical structure: nucleoside

Application

It is used to study tubercidin′s mechanism of toxicity, tubercidin resistance and is used as a selection agent. Tubercidin is used to study RNAi silencing[1]. It is used to study the role of transmethylation in chemotaxis of eukaryotic cells[2].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Toxic adenosine analog with antiviral, antitrypanosomal, and antifungal functions. Mode of action: Inhibits multiple metabolic processes, including RNA processing, nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and methylation of tRNA through intracellular incorporation into nucleic acids. Tubercidin acts as a plant antifungal, inhibits mammalian SAH hydrolase (SAHH), and blocks purine biosynthesis in Candida famata.

Tubercidin acts as a plant antifungal, inhibits mammalian SAH hydrolase (SAHH), and blocks purine biosynthesis in Candida famata. Tubercidin inhibits glycolysis in Trypanosoma brucei[1]. Tubercidin inhibits both chemotaxis and chemotaxis-dependent cell streaming of Dictyostelium, and chemotaxis of neutrophils at concentrations that have little effect on cell viability[2].
